VH series

Product catalog summary
Specifications:
The Finger Valve Series VHK is designed for air fluid with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa and proof pressure of 1.5 MPa. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C and is available in standard and flame-resistant styles. The series includes 2-port (VHK2) and 3-port (VHK3) valves, with the VHK2 suitable for vacuum applications.
Component Parts:
The valve construction includes materials such as POM, C3604B, SUS304, and NBR. The flame-resistant style uses PBT material compliant with UL Standard V-0.
Design and Operation:
The valve features a poppet valve construction with a large effective area and minimal seal defects. The knob operation requires minimal force, and the valve direction is clearly indicated.
Precautions and Warnings:
Users should contact SMC for non-air fluids and avoid supplying air pressure from the 2(A) port. The valve may not hold pressure in a pressure vessel due to slight leakage. Proper handling of male threads and fittings is crucial to prevent leakage.
Ordering Information:
Detailed ordering information includes model numbers, port sizes, and configurations for both standard and flame-resistant styles, along with bracket options and mounting dimensions.
Hand Valve Series VH:
This section covers the VH series specifications, including models VH200, VH300, VH400, and VH600, with a maximum pressure of 1.5 MPa. The operating angle is 90°, and lubrication is not required unless specified.
Flow Characteristics:
Graphs illustrate the relationship between supply pressure and flow rate for different models.
Construction and Replacement Parts:
Materials include zinc die cast, aluminum die cast, and cast iron. Replacement parts such as seal kits and lock nuts are listed with part numbers.
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and guidelines for the Hand Valve Series VH, including dimensions, installation instructions, and operational precautions.
Specifications: Various models are listed with detailed dimensions for body and panel mounting, including specific port sizes.
Design and Usage Precautions:
  • The valve is not suitable as a selector or divider valve due to potential leakage.
  • Not recommended for vacuum applications.
  • Air pressure should only be supplied from the 1(P) port.
Selection and Operation Cautions:
  • Operate in temperatures as low as -5°C with precautions to prevent freezing.
  • Switch valves quickly and firmly to avoid malfunctions.
  • Ensure correct air supply connection to the 1(P) port.
  • Be aware of porting indications and flow direction changes.
Environmental Considerations:
  • In dusty environments, install a silencer in the 3(R) port to prevent dust-related malfunctions.

VHK Precautions Caution Precautions for handling the male threads of the R (PT) pipe fitting with a seal; q Use a wrench to secure the hexagon portion to screw in the fitting. If the size of the wrench is not appropriate it will be stripped. w To screw in the fitting, first hand-tighten; then, use a tool to rotate it 2 to 3 turns. If it is tightened excessively, the amount of sealing agent that protrudes will increase, so make sure to remove the sealing agent that has protruded. e Re-use of fittings: (1) Ordinarily, the fitting can be reused 2 to 3 times. (2) Using an air blower, remove the sealing...
